Episode Details

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre is in hot water after making some wildly dishonest and inflammatory comments about former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, going so far as to claim the RCMP “covered up” his alleged “crimes”. Members of his party are flocking to the media to try and soften the backlash, as Poilievre shows no remorse. Clearly, he has fully embraced his role as a Maple MAGA icon, and the divisive political tactics are only going to get worse… Let’s talk about it.
